Distinctive Stainless Flatware

Selecting Your Stainless Steel Flatware

Flatware is one of the first things we
touch in the morning, and an important contributor to our enjoyment of the meals
we share. Each piece should feel comfortable in your hand, as well as being a beautiful
visual accent for your table. Sterling silver has always been prized for its beauty
and touch, although it should be used, hand washed and kept in an airtight, cool
place. If you select stainless steel flatware, look for the grade of metal: 18/10
or 18/8. This refers to the percent of nickel to chrome. 18/10 with 10% nickel will
keep its sheen longer, is more stain resistant and will better resist pitting or
discoloration. A knife blade of forged steel can improve performance. Go to:Vera Wang Wedgwood 18/10
